Ray Kurzweil article

I find the find the article on staying young for ever, by increasing out life expectancy by reprogramming health and medicine software.  To increase the number of years that we can live, I find this shocking because life is a fragile thing that should not be messed with, no one should be able to live forever.  It's unnatural, and goes against nature, everything dies and we need to let other generations have a chance to change the world.

THE ARTICLE IS BELOW, WITH A LINK TO THE WEB-SITE

2040: Stay young for ever 
“Twenty years from now, we will be adding more time than is going by to your remaining life expectancy. We’ve quadrupled life expectancy in the past 1,000 years and doubled it in the past 200 years. We’re now able to reprogram health and medicine as software, and so that pace is only going to continue to accelerate. There are three bridges to life extension. Bridge 1 is taking aggressive steps to stay healthy today, with today’s knowledge. The goal is to get to bridge 2: the biotechnology revolution, where we can reprogram biology away from disease. Bridge 3 is the nanotechnology revolution. The quintessential application of that is nanobots — little robots in the bloodstream that augment your immune system. We can create an immune system that recognises all disease, and could be reprogrammed to deal with new pathogens.”
